President Trump is pushing back against claims that he is ignoring the potential dangers of artificial intelligence. He maintains that the technology will ultimately provide more benefits than drawbacks, even as industry leaders continue to urge for a deceleration in development.
The president addressed these concerns on Sunday while aboard Air Force One, The Hill reported. When a reporter asked if he was downplaying the risks that have been raised by various tech leaders, the president quickly interjected. He stated, “No, I’m not downplaying,” before adding, “But it’s going to be more good than bad, by a lot.”
